How does eating chocolate, drinking wine, or dancing the tango make people healthier? Wine! Chocolate! Tango!, the annual event sponsored by El Centro de las Americas, brings together people from all over Lincoln with exactly that goal in mind.

The 10th annual Wine! Chocolate! Tango!, an evening filled with hand-crafted chocolates expertly paired with Latin wines, and delectable hors d'oeurves catered by the Venue, showcases the talents of the Lincoln Tango Club between courses – all for a good cause.

El Centro de las Americas, a local non-profit serving Lincoln’s Latino/Hispanic community, works to strengthen and enrich families. Our mission is to educate and empower the families we serve, providing tools to help those in our community improve their quality of life. Wine! Chocolate! Tango! supports programs that help both adults and youth to live productive lives, promoting education, health literacy and screening, good nutrition, fitness, and employment skills.

This year’s event will be held on Saturday, March 4, from 7 PM to midnight at the Jasmine Room of the Grand Manse, located at 129 No. 10th Street. The event will also include a silent auction that features luxury goods and services donated by Lincoln business, organizations, and individuals.
